Well, here's the next part of the story. I hope you all enjoy it. The end is the first time I am actually posting it up. I finished it last year for a creative writing class and made a few revisions to it recently to make it better.
Well here's the ending!
Inside the Haunted House
(c) By Aquaria Light
Davis was the first one of us to get out of the spell.
"We have to find Olivia's body!" he said in a voice that was dreached in fake heroism. Even though I knew that Davis was as scared as I was his simple act of trying to pretend not to be frightened was enough to give me courage to go on and do what we had to do in a better mood.
As we were walking a tripped over a rock that went tumbling down to the side of the cave. I shrieked at the sound it made and Davis jumped a little too but when he saw how scared I had become, he wrapped an arm around me and guided me close to him and jokingly told me not to be such a pussy.
A few moments later we found what looked like a teenager's body. She was dressed in black and wore old time Japanese clothes. But more importantly she wore a golden seashell necklace that hung from her neck and was just dangling above us. It was really strange the way her casket had already been open and how her body was intact even though the casket was all tore up by the maggots and such that must have surely gotten to it. Her body seemed to have been buried for quite some time so it was deep into the earth and hard to remove by then not that we wanted to remove her. Her body held up strong up against the ceiling and I had to wonder how it could have stayed up there for so long.
My stomach tightened up as I got a nauseous feeling inside. I wanted to throw up. We had gotten this far and we might as well go all the way. I grabbed the necklace and as I held it in my hand, I heard the cackling again.
"Beware the person who messes with evil! Do not touch the golden necklace or you won't live to regret your mistake." It said.
The floor underneath me gave out. We both screamed, as we feared for our lives, me hanging onto the necklace and Davis hanging onto my legs. There was a live volcano underneath us and I didn't want to take any chances of falling in.
If her neck bone were to break that would be the end for the both of us. My pants started falling down and I feared for Davis's life.
"T.K.! What are we going to do!" he asked desperately.
"I don't know, but everything will be fine. Don't worry."
"Okay, if you say so." He responded unsurely. We were quiet while I thought of something to do. I had a plan but there was no way of being sure it would work for either of us.
My pants fell down even more. Davis gasped as he tried to hold on tighter.
"Hey Davis."
"What?" He panted nervously.
"I just wanted to say, I love you."
He was quiet for a moment before saying "I love you too."
Those were the words I had been longing to hear for the last 3 years now. Although troubled by our situation my heart filled with a resolution I knew I had to fulfill.
I could not move enough without breaking the chain and killing us both yet if I did not move at all, we would be stuck until the chain broke on its own. Either way I would die, I realized this but if I swung hard enough I might be able to save Davis by knocking him to the land on the other side. I had to try for my love's life.
"Davis, hold on tight and let go when I tell you to!"
"But T.K.!" He began but then must've changed his mind because he said "Okay!"
"Alright, I'm gonna swing you onto that piece of land over there so be ready."
"What about you?"
"Don't worry about me, just land." He shook him head in agreement. "And Davis, Live on!"
He was about to ask something else but I didn't give him the chance, I started swinging. I swung him back and forth as hard as I could until I gave my final kick and BAM! The chain broke! We were both flying towards the land when I yelled "NOW!"
He let go. Everything happened in slow motion. We whizzed through the air and I held my breath as I expected to see Davis landing when I made it, just 2 seconds after Davis did.
We breathed for joy and ran to the end of the tunnel as the volcano came close to erupting. There was no way out.
"There has to be a way out!" Davis said scratching the walls frantically. And as soon as he said that a few rocks fell over and we were free! It was a way out!
We climbed out of the tunnel and smelled the fresh air of freedom; our haunted house adventure was over!
We embraced as we cried over our horrible near death experience. We had never wanted to do a thing like that again.
*****Okay for those of you who want a happy ending, stop reading here. This is the end for you. But for those of you who want my extra, sort of disturbing finale to this story. Read on to the next part. *************************************************
We embraced as we cried over our horrible near death experience. We had never wanted to do a thing like that again.
But then I felt something in my hand that I did not want to see. There in my hand lay the golden seashell necklace!
"We have to go back!" Davis insisted,
"NO! We don't have to!" I told him. I had a bad feeling about him dying before, I did not want to experience it again.
"But what about Pepper? Do you want her to stay here forever? We promised her freedom!" Davis was so noble; I loved him dearly.
"Alright! But just really fast!" I had a very bad feeling about this.
We went back into the tunnel to throw the necklace into the volcano. If we did this. the necklace would be truly destroyed and all the lost souls would be free again. While walking to the volcano we tripped over a book whose title read "The Book Of T.K." we decided to pick it up on our way out again.
We got to the volcano and I threw the necklace in. As it melted I turned around to run out of there when I ran into Olivia and she held my book in her hands. "The Book of T.K." She shoved it to me causing me to lose my balance and fall off the edge of the land near the volcano. I heard Davis scream and saw Olivia in Pepper's body tumble over right after mine. And then I saw nothing.
T.K. died the day he went into the Haunted House. So the stories were true. Once someone went in to spend the night, they didn't come back out alive, except for Davis. Davis, out of some odd freak in nature, came out of the Haunted house alive. It was because of T.K.'s sacrifice that he was able to do this. The book of T.K. was closed after T.K. fell into the volcano and nothing more was ever written into it. But Davis made sure to add to the end that T.K. had been a noble young friend to the very end. In all his days, Davis never forgot the adventures he had had in the haunted house, nor of his true best friend who had died for him and allowed for him to live out the rest of his days in peace. The End.
That was the ending. Well, like I said originally in my fic, Davis the Untold Story, these two kinda go together but not really. Check it out and judge for yourself. All reviews are welcome, even flames. Thank you and God bless!
Well here's the ending!
